RIP Jeff Beck


Too soon, even at age 78

One of the very select few who reinvented what you could do with an electric guitar. He could bend the strings better than anyone. That was his signature sound. Hendrix is the other one who made an electric guitar sound completely different than all others. 

Guitar shop with Terry Bozzio was Jeff's masterpiece imo.

RIP

 

Made me cry to hear of his passing. Just finished acquiring his final few albums last year. Some of his later recordings, including videos, were simply fabulous. He played wonderfully well right into his seventies and seemed to keep getting better. Not many rockers from the 1960’s you can say that of. Neil Young put out some great work well past the expriation date of most rockers, but no others from that era come to mind. Jeff was in a select group and we’ve lost a creative genius for sure.

I particularly treasure his Live at RONNIE SCOTTS.  Especially the very subdued and tasteful solo with Imogen Heap.  On a small stage he is stupendous.  The drummer and bass player and keyboards aren’t chopped liver either. 🧨
